Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?

Rating: 3/10 (25 August 2005)

The Island starts out OK. The first 30 minutes or so that establish the reality these clones live in is interesting. But once the two main characters go on the run it just becomes another shallow Michael Bay romp.
Fast edits, annoying fast zooming in and out on a character's face for "dramatic effect", unrealistic action/stunts and overuse of slow motion.
Slow mo is the most amateurish ineffective method of evoking emotion in the audience. A ssssslow mmmmmotion shot of characters looking at one another very slowly doesn't make me care more (or at all) about them.
At least Michael Bay is consistent.....in producing big screen rubbish.
Regarding the story, it borrows heavily from Logan's Run. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812/
A society underground thinking the outside world is uninhabitable, two young lovers escaping to discover the truth and then "freeing" the others who then walk out into the sunshine, bleary eyed and amazed!
